Found out Sam Nader (LSU assistant Athletic director) granddaughter is a Sport's Illustrated model.
Thought this would be a fun topic.

What are examples of companies that almost chose to build in Louisiana but didn't?
Posted by BlueShield on 1/21/22 at 1:12 pm
Can you think of any instances where a company was building a factory, plant, or expanding and Louisiana was in the running for it but didn't get it?
I recall Disney World was suppose to be built in Louisiana but our corrupt politicians wanted money and it ended up being built in Orlando.
Can you think of anything in the past 10 years?

Plant baws: what’s the best and worst plants in Lake Charles to work for?

Spinoff on the Plaquemine thread.
Best: Lake Charles Refining (small, privately owned local company)
Worst: Indorama (Will blow up at any moment)
Should say the LC/Sulphur/Westlake area.
Strangely I don't think there's any big refineries/plants in Lafayette.

Who is the go to lawyer in Baton Rouge for Plant Explosions & big Personal Injury cases?
Posted by BlueShield on 1/17/22 at 6:36 pm
Work at the hospital. Had a nice 15 minute convo with a guy that was on Deepwater Horizon and lost one of his legs. Joked that he never has to work a day in his life again.
Just curious. We joke about the Gordon McKernans and Spencer Callahans of the world but who are the actual big timers around here that take the big cases. The guy all the lawyers go too.

NFL teams in the 90s that would most improve if they had a top 5 QB
Posted by BlueShield on 1/4/22 at 7:38 pm
90s seemed like the golden era of QBs (Favre, Young, Elway, Marino, etc.)
What franchise would probably win a Super Bowl or 2 if they had a good QB?

Have just $40k laying around. What's the smartest/safest way to increase it in a year?
Posted by BlueShield on 1/1/22 at 7:52 pm
I'm in my 20s and have $40,000 in my checking account. Don't have any student loans, car notes, kids or any of that.
Ideally I would look like to get around $60,000 and starting offering on houses in the $300,000 range and not pay PMI.
Little internet research says ETFs like VOO or VTI are my best bet.
Don't flame me... I'm just looking for ideas/advice.

Didn't know that. I thought only welders got DT.

Little brother has a job offer from them as pipefitter or boilermaker. Friend of his got him the job but they aren't being clear on the pay. Just says "it varies from plant to plant"
Any of you guys have experience with them?
He's got a comfortable maintenance job but wants to make more money.
